The Summer Challenge is for a Bowl. Richard Findley has kindly agreed to judge this quarter’s Challenge,


Challenge Requirements: Bowl

This month’s rules are:-

1. The Challenge is open to anyone and everyone.
Entries must be new and made specifically for the Challenge.
2. Entries must be made of wood which must be turned on a lathe using woodturning tools.
3. The bowl can be any size or shape.
4. Segmented turning, piercing, carving, colouring, pyrography and texturing are allowed for this challenge. However, the judge must be able to see your turning skills!

Please post three images of your work together with details of the wood used, the tools and methods used to make it and any key dimensions. A special ‘Entries’ thread will be started for this at the appropriate time.

Images needed:-

1 showing a general view of your entry .
1 view of the inside of bowl
1 view of the bottom of the bowl
A fourth picture may be added (but is not compulsory) if needed to show any other interesting details of your entry.

Image size - please use image size 640 x 480 0.3mp, as in previous challenges

Please upload your pictures and description to the ‘Entries Thread’ between 10pm on the 26th June and 10pm on the 28th June.

Please also send me a PM giving me your own opinions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places amongst the entries (other than your own) between 10pm on 28th June and 10pm on 30th June (for me to compile the entrants’ scoring).

Any queries or questions on this month’s Challenge, please use this thread to ask.
 
Mr Shed
Firstly, thank for running the challenges. Apologies for the lack of a first quarter entry - not sure how, but time got away again!!

Are we to have the regular bowl/platter/dish debate, leading to you specifying exact requiremnets, or are you leaving interpretation up to the entrants?

Thanks

Greg

For the purposes of this challenge I will define a bowl as being deep enough that an orange, placed in the bowl, will not roll out.
OK ? :)
 
Can you fit an orange into your thimble Rob ?
My grannie, what big hands you have. :)

Grannie with big hands and feet is likely grandad..........
As these are no longer under such a tight deadline, I'm hoping to be able to produce something this time round if my arm is up to it. It is likely to be majorly rubbish however, due to the huge gap since I last turned anything.
:-({|=
 
I look forward with great glee to whatever you produce because it will signify your healing is underway and that's worthy of celebrating with a nice orange or greater sized bowl :)
 
Hey !!
I never said the bowl had to be bigger than an orange, merely that it has to be dished enough that an orange wouldn't roll off of it.

:)
 
It's OK Graham, got it first time round.

Interesting lesson in perspective. Is the Orange huge or the bowl tiny?

Made me think of Father Ted and Dougal :lol:
 
Yep. Time is marching on guys.
Barring any last minute hitches with the final cuts I will have one ready this time. :)
